650b version should be called the "Manny."

I promised I'd give him a set after he gets his Riv fixed.

You are 100% correct that there are plenty of 27.5" knobby tires out there.  There are not many (any?) with a width less than 45mm, though.  That's why there are a few of us eagerly waiting for this tire.

Which reminds me, I have some of the Pacenti 650b knobbies for sale. Never mounted, never used. Contact off list if you want info or photos.

My Saluki is going to get a pair as well. As well as the hetres did on the GAP trail i'm sure they'd handle the C&O easy as well but I like the idea of trying out a small knobby like this.

This won't be a problem for very long...

Sweet frameset, the brazing is so clean.  The tires look like a really tempting alternative to hetres when riding more offroady stuff. The issue now is a set of tires leads to a new wheel purchase since i am too lazy to swap tires, haha.

the tour rides grip so well... even on sand....... but I have an addiction to fat tires... give me the fattest tire I can fit on there... except CC your super fat tour rides won't fit my bike.
